The voice was very similar to the man we encountered by the river that day, even the accent made one suspect it was just a child around seven or eight years old.

"Have we met before?"

I tried to make my voice sound as normal as possible.

"Hehehe... Lawyer Zhao?"

He exerted force to lift his eyelids, revealing the entire pupil, and his lips curled into a strange arc.

"Yeah, we've met. It was such a pity that day, I couldn't give Lawyer Zhao a lesson."

He spoke casually, but I felt a chill down my spine. This kind of person is cold-hearted, ruthless, and merciless, showing no regard for human life. Very dangerous.

Such a person's thoughts are also simple in an abnormal way.

I asked him, "Why did you hurt her?"

He thought for a moment, looked at me and smiled, then said, "She was bad and told someone my sister's secret."

I understood that the "sister" he mentioned referred to Hao Mei.

I slowly approached him, wanting to see if Wang Yu was dead or alive. I had only moved a few steps when he suddenly looked at me, revealing a mouthful of hard, yellow teeth, "What are you doing?"

I was afraid he might make some extreme move, so I took out both my hands and placed them where he could see, showing I had no ill intentions towards him.

Unexpectedly, he said, "Don't be afraid, I won't kill people recklessly. Your friend..." He pointed to Wang Yu lying on the ground, "was just scared unconscious. I covered her eyes, then made a small cut on her neck, and turned the faucet on a little..."

As he spoke excitedly, I broke out in goosebumps. His methods of tormenting people were comparable to the ruthless eunuchs of ancient times, heartless and cruel.

His slow voice continued, narrating, "I just told her that in three hours she would die from blood loss. But... hehe... she fainted after just ten minutes."

He looked at Wang Yu on the ground, his eyes showing a hint of ridicule, as if saying, "I was just joking. Who knew she would be so timid?"

I rubbed my arms a few times, just wanting to end this topic quickly.

But he seemed to see through my intentions. Before I could speak, he interrupted me, "Listen to me. I heard her calling you, so I waited here for you."

"Lawyer Zhao, why do you insist on investigating a case that's already settled?"

He tilted his head and looked at me, showing a childlike innocent smile.

I felt a chill run down my spine and said to him, "Routine investigation. For the client, I still need to understand a bit."

Knock, knock, knock!

The knocking sound broke the eerie harmony between us. I saw him make some slicing gestures on Wang Yu's neck with a knife, his eyes full of warning.

I calmed myself down, "Who's there?"

"Delivery."

To avoid agitating the person in the room, I said, "Leave it at the door."

The voice outside paused for a moment, then said, "It's cash on delivery."

I looked helplessly at the man with the knife. He suddenly hesitated, "Go get it, big sister."

So that was the problem!

This person seemed to have multiple personalities. When he first entered, I sensed the confusion in his eyes, like a child. But then he suddenly changed, exuding a cold and ruthless demeanor.

Now he's calling me—

Sister!

Have I stumbled upon a den of brothers?

Jiang Xiaoyu, another one...

I walked to the door, trembling, afraid he might suddenly change again.

I opened the door, "Why are you here?"
